Entecavir: stability and drug-excipient compatibility by Ariadne Botto Fiorot, Clayton Raynan dos Santos, Thiago Padovani Xavier, Taisa Shimosakai de Lira, Marcelo Antonio de Oliveira

“…The thermal analysis of marketed solid dosage forms revealed a predominance of the lactose monohydrate profile at the expense of ETV and other inputs in the TGA and DTA curves, due to its high content in the formulations; this makes the evidence of ETV-lactose chemical interaction even more important. Compatibility tests by HPLC showed no chemical interaction of ETV with the excipient mannitol, a soluble diluent proposed as a replacement for lactose monohydrate, with the same function in the formulation.…”
